As such, the prevalence values dramatically underrepresent actual tick risk.<\/p>\n<p>Ticks feed for only a few weeks of their 2-year life span. Dogs and cats presenting with a serious, potentially fatal tick-borne disease often do not have a tick attached at examination.<sup>2-4<\/sup> Failing to find ticks at a single observation should not be interpreted as absence of infestation risk. Surveys conducted using antibodies to tick-borne disease agents as a proxy for past tick infestations provide a more accurate estimate of risk, and document higher regional prevalence at 0.9% to 13.3%.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The Companion Animal Parasite Council recommends consistent use of tick control on pets to protect them from ticks and tick-borne infections.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><a
